Maybe you can use a function like this not tested one:

if "$cmd" -v | grep Apache > /dev/null 2>&1; then
httpd=$(echo "$cmd" | sed "s/apache2/httpd/")

fi
}
One worry I have with that approach is if any and all random
implementations of "httpd" that live somewhere in path do not do any
harm
when started with "-v" option. Namely, they should exit without
becoming
a daemon and/or start the service.
I am not convinced that would be the case.
I agree with that worry. Solving that in the general case is pretty
difficult, so I think we could instead look for other clues in the
system. Some ideas:
- Use $HTTPD as defined in apachectl. (How portable is that?)
- Inspect the text of 'man httpd' to determine if it's Apache or not.
- Only fallback on the httpd command on Mac OS X 10.5? That's pretty
safe.
